I got a second flash yesterday. I started playing with it over the weekend. Here is the boy blowing up a balloons for a birthday party. He stated that this was what he wanted to do when he grows up. Anyone know of a professional balloon blower upper association

My neighbor in the spring went out and got a turkey for his backyard. Well it was a hen and it laid eggs which then hatched… so now we have little turkeys hanging out around the house. If I can catch one, fresh free turkey for Thanksgiving.

FYI 88 days until Thanksgiving
PS I got looking at this bird again and realized that it is not a turkey at all. It is some sort of grouse (I think that it is a sage grouse). That’s ok they taste good as well
This was not my idea, but sometimes I cave to the pressure of family. We had a birthday in my house recently, and this is one the cards that came.
200mm f/14 1/160s
Driving into work today was this gorgeous scene. The moon was setting and the sun was riseing and the colors were soft and beautiful. I had to pull over and take a picture.
200mm f/11 1/160s
I couldn’t think of anything and I had no ambition. This picture is the result of that deadly combination. Sorry to waste the electrons, but I did take a picture and get it up for what ever that is worth.

The alternative title was Who drank the kool-aide. I like this picture, I had to work really hard to get the background the way I wanted it.
200mm f/5.6 1/60s
I guess I would have gotten rid of the clutter on the table. I still might go in an darken the fence a little to have the kid stand out a bit.
He fell off the next day, and learned why you never want to be middle of the fence.

The Photowalking Utah gang went out the Salt Flats to photograph the Utah Rocket Club annual Hellfire rocket shoot. It was a blast. We,the older kids and I, went out and got there just in time to see Sgt. Pepper fly. It went 5 miles up (yes they had to get FAA permission) and it was amazing. We had a really great time the kids played in the salt like it was snow and we got to see how fast the Expedition goes (95 mph that was floored for a couple of miles). I am putting more of my pictures on the Photowalkingutah.com group site if you are interested.
200mm f/5.6 1/1000s
I am constantly chasing for a “perfect” picture. I sometimes, well most of the time, feel like it is just over the next hill. Kinda like the proverbial pot of gold.

I don’t know why when I saw this stream I focused right on the plant growing in the middle. It has a fairly precarious position. Surrounded by danger and in a place that could be gone at any minute, but that is where it is and that is where it is thriving.
